Git - Is there a way to view the number of lines committed by Author?

Question

Does anyone no of a command or script that will output each author that has committed to the project followed by the number of lines they have contributed.

e.g. something similar to the following:

Author       Insertions   Deletions
Bob Dole     1240         409
Sarah J      481          140
Jim Helper   388          23

Cheers, Ben

Answer 1

A quick search dug up GitStats, though that only generates HTML output.

Update: A bit more digging turned up LookAtGit, which seems more along the lines of what you were looking for.

Second Update: As mentioned on a comment to the original question, this can also be accomplished with git in conjunction with sed/awk. There's a nice example of how to do this right here on SO.
